Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Amendment 184, in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Agnew, seeks to ensure that the Secretary of State underwrites the full cost of providing breakfast clubs, so that it includes the cost of using teachers’ directed time as well as that of good-quality ingredients. School budgets have already been squeezed, and it is important that the burden of providing free breakfast clubs does not fall unfairly on these budgets, as this may leave schools in a position where they have to sacrifice other parts of the budget to fund it.
